I was looking at this at Target tonight and I believe the box specifically says that you can plug in through your TV or VCR.

You plug it straight into the tv through the input jacks that you would use for a VCR, DVD player, or any video game system, ie playstation, gamecube etc. Think of it like a playstation, but instead of having to buy the games and the system seperately, it all comes in one unit.

I think you just plug it into the TV... or into a DVD player - a VCR might work.

Hi David, You will use the A/V connecting cable for this camcorder to be connected to your VCR. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

It is not "exactly" designed to help with that because no VCR is involved. BUT you never know. To find out on your own, you would have to buy it first! I would suggest first contacting the seller [or manufacturer] through Amazon. That way you should be able to find out before purchasing.Good luck,MR

It can use Coax cable in and out like the older style VCR's. Not sure if it has RCA connectors. I am using a universal remote for it in my case no remote was provided.

This is not the cord to hook up your vcr and tv. You need a regular audio/video cord - that red, white and yellow!!

I tried hooking up my Panasonic DVD/VCR but it does not display correctly. I have no idea what cables to use, I just used the ones I had on my old Sony, but cannot get a clear picture.

Yes. It will connect directly to an old VCR or any TV with an RCA (yellow) input. You WILL need a BNC to RCA adapter though to change the shape of the plug. That will only handle a single camera however. The reason people use DVRs, is because it will record multiple cameras at the same time.

YES! I finally got it to work, but they don't make it easy. I had to submit a help ticket with the manufacturer. They sent this link, and when I followed their directions, I was able to get audio and video onscreen and saved to a file. My only problem was that while recording, there are black lines across the screen, so you can only hear the video. I suppose if the VCR is connected to a TV (mine was not when tested), you can still see when to stop recording on your TV.https://vimeo.com/110391073

If your Vhs player only has RCA jacks you will need an adapter or special cable but yes it will work

Ok, that's good to know; but not having a cable box sucks. I should probably do a VCR setup as someone else suggested.

I am kinda having trouble understanding your question, do you mean that your TV has only HDMI input's and the VCR/DVD combo supplies RCA output? If this is the case, I have been using mine to run my VCR/DVD combo through RCA cables, and output as an HDMI. This has done a great job with doing that. Hope this helps.

I am unsure about this, because I have never tried to connect the TV with the VCR. If you have a friend who knows something about the connections in the back of TV and computers, they may be able to help answer the question.

I don't think so. There is a component and S-Video output - So if you can hook this up to your computer you could use it but there is no need. This device eliminates copy protection. So unless the VCR tapes have copy protection you don't need this device. What it sounds like you want is analog video capture ability. Check out USB devices for capturing video signal.

No... This item just work in tv VCR or computer only because have a receiber signal box with RCA plug

Thanks for that, Jim! That's about our setup, too, except that the only composite plugs on the back of our Sony TV are in use already - by an old VCR - and I wanted to use one of the set's open component video feed for the Roku. We still occasionally use the VCR for family movies, etc. So I was interested in the DV > component video adapter someone mentioned - since the Roku doesn't have component video outputs. Maybe I'll check Radio Shack or Best Buy.Thanks, Reid

I don't know. It won't work with my old vcr. So, I returned it. It might work if your combo player is new enough. Good Luck.

Yes to your questions; however, the TV should connect to the wall cable outlet to allow the signal to fed through the TV tuner and then the VCR cable connects to the TV output signal plug! Good luck!
